He saveth all and only the Elect and Believers, which have been, are, or shall be, even from the beginning, to the end of the world, and that both by his merit, and by his efficacy. For in them only, which embrace the benefit of redemption with a true faith, hath God his end, even his worship and glory. For he hath decreed to gather and reserve a Church unto himself in this life, but with this condition, that it apprehend that benefit, and be thankful for the same. God so loved the world, 1that he hath given his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 2but have everlasting life. I pray not for these alone; but for them also which shall believe in me through their word, that they all may be one. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: 3if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever. He hath chosen us in Christ, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love, and that we should be unto the praise of his glory.
